ETH ecosystem rises, GoldenMiningETH contract stable income of $7,300

by

With the entry into force of the GENIUS Act, the United States officially banned income-generating stablecoins, directly cutting off investors’ channels for obtaining interest through stablecoins.

This move is believed to drive funds back to the native ecology of mainstream public chains such as Ethereum, especially the rapid increase in demand for on-chain income tools.

As the core of the DeFi ecosystem, Ethereum undertakes more than 70% of decentralized financial applications. It has become an important way for many people to make stable money through staking and on-chain services. [Read more…] about ETH ecosystem rises, GoldenMiningETH contract stable income of $7,300

Tokyo University scientists discover key to ‘stable, high-performance, and long-life’ sodium-ion batteries

by

Sodium (Na)-ion batteries have recently emerged as cost-effective and sustainable alternatives to lithium (Li)-ion batteries. Na, the sixth most abundant element on Earth, offers lower material costs and greater availability compared to Li-ion batteries.

The design of cathode materials plays a key role in determining battery life and stability. Layered sodium manganese oxide (NaMnO2) has received increased attention from researchers for its use as a cathode material in Na-ion batteries.

NaMnO2 exists in two crystal forms: α-NaMnO2 and β-NaMnO2. The α-phase features a monoclinic layered structure, where planar MnO2 layers, consisting of edge-sharing distorted MnO6 octahedra, are stacked alternatively with Na-ions in between.
